After Mu Chunyang was struck by lightning, he didn't sleep all night, but he was still energetic in the morning, but he felt a little hungry, so he asked his subordinates to prepare some food.

After eating, Mu Chunyang went to the outside of the house for a turn, stayed in the Xiangfu for a while, ginseng bird's nest, abalone and sea cucumber all day long, Mu Chunyang, who originally had some black hands, has gradually become strong and white, that is, some are slightly fat, and the face is a lot rounder than before, but it looks a lot more handsome, Mu Chunyang in the past, although the days are not bitter, compared to most people in Shouliu Town, the small days are quite moist, but compared to the days of the Xiangfu, it is still somewhat bad, but now it is better, more and more white, more and more strong, but if it is a little fatter, it may be a little unsightly。

Tai'an City is as lively as in the past, pedestrians come and go on the street, the shouting on the street is endless, although the Great Song Dynasty prohibits shouting and selling, but the business is prosperous, and the shouting is difficult to suppress, so it can only turn a blind eye, but these residents are also sensible, when people from the imperial court come, they will no longer shout and sell, and they will silently stay in front of the stall.

Mu Chunyang wandered around the street, stayed in the Xiangfu for a while, and could be regarded as having seen the world, no longer like before, he had never seen anything, it was very strange to see anything, he didn't buy anything this time, he just walked around, but Mu Chunyang found one thing, there were many richly dressed people on the street walking in one direction, Mu Chunyang also lived in Tai'an City for a while, and he saw a lot of gorgeously dressed people, but it was the first time to see so many people like today, so it felt a little strange.

Mu Chunyang stopped a pedestrian and said, "Brother Tai, what is today, is it a special day?"

The passer-by said: "Little brother just came to the capital!" Mu Chunyang nodded, waiting for the rest of the man's words: "Today is the temple fair of the Confucian Temple! People with heads and faces in the capital will go, and even His Majesty the Emperor will personally register for the priesthood activities, and it is rare for us ordinary people to see His Majesty the Emperor once, so it's not good to take a look." ”

It turned out to be a temple fair, but looking at it like this, the temple fair was still very grand, otherwise it would be impossible for even the emperor to hold a sacrificial ceremony in person. Mu Chunyang originally liked to join in the fun, and with such a grand temple fair, Mu Chunyang naturally couldn't miss it.

So Mu Chunyang also followed the pedestrians, all the way forward, on the way Mu Chunyang also heard a lot of things about Confucianism, the so-called Confucian saint is the founder of Confucianism, Mu Chunyang also went to school, for Confucianism is naturally no stranger, Confucianism founded Confucianism, in this North Huangzhou Confucianism has always been the royal family from ancient times to the present orthodoxy, when a hundred schools of thought contended, now in this North Huangzhou Confucianism has become orthodox thought, as for why it will become orthodox thought, the master has never seen it, just mentioned a Confucian scholar" depose the hundred schools of thought and respect Confucianism alone", and finally achieved Confucianism as orthodoxy, but there are too many details that the master has not talked about.

When the North Huangzhou did not know whether there was a Great Song Dynasty, the founder of Confucianism founded Confucianism, at first it was not accepted, so he lobbied the countries, collected three thousand disciples, but did not improve, and then gave up, can not be said to give up completely, he lectured for the disciples every day, many disciples were able to do a lot, and finally many of them became prominent people, because of the influence of Confucianism, so after its fame, Confucianism was vigorously promoted, so Confucianism was gradually recognized by the world, with the change of dynasty, Confucianism has become more and more complete, has been used to this day。 As for the founder of Confucianism, he was named a Confucian saint in later generations, and both the emperor and the common people had to worship it every year.

While listening to others tell the story of Confucianism, while hurrying, soon arrived at the outside of the Confucian Temple, not so much a temple, but a square, outside is a huge step, it is said that it was originally a very large courtyard, but later was demolished, so it is a lot more convenient, nine courtyards in the temple, with the north and south as the central axis, divided into three roads on the left, middle and right, 630 meters long, 140 meters wide, there are halls, halls, altars, pavilions more than 460 rooms, 54 gates, 13 imperial tablet pavilions, and the statue of Confucianism stands in the middle of the temple, the statue of Confucianism is about thirteen or fourteen meters high, holding a book slip, doing a bow salute。

Mu Chunyang can only watch from afar now, because His Majesty the Emperor will come soon, and the surrounding soldiers will surround this place, so he can only look at it from afar, Mu Chunyang looks at the tall Confucian statue, and always feels a familiar feeling, as if he has seen it somewhere, but he can't say where he has seen it.

Near noon, a large group of people drove towards the Confucian Temple, and not long after, a man in uniform came out of the sedan chair, and the man looked like he was about forty or fifty years old. As soon as the man came out, all the people around him knelt on the ground, as long as he had a brain, he could see that this person was the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, and there was one person in this crowd who did not kneel, but the emperor was busy with sacrifices, and he didn't have time to see how these people knelt for him, plus Mu Chunyang stood in the middle of the crowd, it was difficult to be found, so the emperor and the people around him did not find Mu Chunyang. After the emperor got out of the carriage, he walked directly to the Confucian Temple, and waved his hand at everyone casually, at this time everyone got up, and after everyone got up, the people around Mu Chunyang pointed at Mu Chunyang, saying something rebellious and the like, but Mu Chunyang didn't bother to care about this, and continued to look at the situation in the Confucian Temple.

After the emperor entered, he was followed by hundreds of civil and military officials, and there was a person standing side by side with the emperor, this person Mu Chunyang was very familiar, it was his father Mu Feng, although Mu Chunyang said that he had gone to school and knew some etiquette, but he knew very little about the emperor's rules, so he didn't feel anything wrong with this, but the people around him were talking about Mu Feng in a whisper.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the auspicious time has arrived, His Majesty the Emperor personally held a sacrificial ceremony, the ceremony began, His Majesty the Emperor stood in front of the statue of Confucianism, and the civil and military officials bowed deeply, expressing their respect for the Confucianism. After these ceremonies, Mu Chunyang once again saw a familiar figure, Zhou Shuyuan, the prince of the country, who was reading and leading the civil and military officials to recite the Confucian "Analects", and even the emperor was no exception, reciting it with the lord of sacrificial wine.

After about half an hour, the sacrificial ceremony finally ended, and all the civil and military officials returned to the palace with His Majesty the Emperor, and only the sacrificial wine lord remained here.
